Let's be realistic. You didn't think they were going to give up the reins of power over a mere *election*, did you?

Deep State you say?

That angst over what many in the White House call the “deep state” is fermenting daily, fueled by rumors and tidbits picked up by Trump allies within the intelligence community and by unconfirmed allegations that have been made by right-wing commentators. The “deep state” is a phrase popular on the right for describing entrenched networks hostile to Trump.

Um, quoting WaPo on the deep state is like quoting Pravda on the Kremlin.

The deep state concept was started by President Eisenhower when he referred to the military-industrial complex. That was before the massive increase in spooks. The reason that the allegations are unconfirmed is because the control is deep, as the description states. The effect is obvious, however, and cannot be blamed on laws of nature, a la evolution.

Sure attack the source first, when you have no facts, no evidence, no argument... where's your tinfoil hat btw?
